Brandon and I traded cars for a couple days so I got the opportunity to live with the brand new 2021 Audi RS6 Avant! As a former 2016 RS7 owner, I have been quite excited to try out the latest generation of this platform, especially the wagon body style that is finally available in America. Having driven the new RS7 already, the RS6 is essentially an identical experience. The same 4.0L twin turbo V8, same 8 speed ZF transmission, same interior finish and technology, and just a wagon bodystyle. Finished in a stunning Navarra Blue with the upgraded 22" wheels, the RS6 is an amazing blend of aggression, practicality and just flat out awesome. Enjoy this vlog, future cinematic review and ownership interview videos will be coming! (and possible snow donuts)

[@Douglas3.2Carrera]

Great video... I used to be a huge fan of the RS6 avant, until I found out it weighs 5000 pounds...Granted it’s a sedan, a BMW M5, with more power, weighs a hair under 4400 pounds, with equal build quality, desirability, tech, etc.

[@pseudonym6642]

Not sure where 5000lbs comes from? the Kerb weight is circa 2070kg, or 4563lbs... Its definitely heavier than before... Ive come from an M5 Comp into an RS6... Yes the M5 is a little quicker stock, and is more focused to drive... with better turn in off centre... but the build quality, fit finish, design etc are not in the same league... the M5 still has the old centre dash design with cheap plastic inserts and buttons (unlike the new 3/4/8 and X5/6, which has the newer far higher quality interior)... The Audi is literally built like a vault, is way smoother and better as a daily... I had major gearbox and reliability issues in the M5 too... I have subsequently tuned the RS6, and added an Akrapovic exhaust... its good for 800bhp+ and does 6 seconds 62-124 and 2.8 (2.6) 0-100km/h(60mph)... Street presence of an RS6 is also in a different league...and in Europe its the halo family car of sorts.

[@EddieX]

I will try to find one to review!

[@Manuel-uf6sr]

Cool video, Eddie! Serious question? Would you buy the RS7 or lease it? Which is a better, smarter way?

[@EddieX]

Depends on financial situation and how long you want to keep it. A big advantage of leasing is not paying sales tax on the entire vehicle price. But if you're going to keep it 5-7 years, buying can also be a good idea

[@prestonettin5145]

[@thehaircutbook]

This was 22 minutes well spent. I would love this “land yacht”. The white Q you passed after the AMG towards the end probably glanced over and now have buyer’s remorse lol. As a big skier, I’m curious how well this would do in New England winters? Definitely need to swap out the stock summer tires. Drooling as I dream.

[@blackcatsarenopussies]

Nothing better to drive safely and in style to a ski resort. You have the true Quattro all wheel drive system which is arguably the best of them all providing endless grip in all conditions. You will probably get scared and slow down before the car reaches its limit. Keep the summer set for summer as they give you proper performance in the appropriate season and buy a set of smaller proper UHP winter set for the cold season. Something like a Continental Wintersport or Michelin Pilot Alpin and you're good to go be it snow or slush.

[@rumble1925]

I love it.. but there's hardly anything that distinguishes from the S6 Interior wise . Seats. Look.. layout... all same pretty much..

[@harryacrocker]

Yeah true but why change something that works really well anyways. Get what you mean tho

[@wjperdue]

Wow...just...wow. It seems like it's a better daily...straight undercover beast. I think they over did the tech...imo.

[@EddieX]

Lots of tech. I like it now, quite a bit. But always concerned with how tech will age

[@oleg274]

At least all that tech isn't overstyled. MMI is fast without any lags and also informative, easy to read information from. Now I'm comparing with Merc... horrible menus super overstyled with color and animation, thus it's lagging which is really annoying

[@p0werl0ve]

you should ask the owner of the RS6 about his experience

[@talenclip]

Anybody just get a random notif about this video?

[@mateuszszymanski4242]

Fun fact: base price for new RS6 Avant in USA $109k while ... in Poland same car, base price is $154k. Its all because of taxes - 18.6% excise tax + 23%VAT on top of that! our government is too greedy

[@EddieX]

OUCH.

[@mlodyme3675]

The price that you see in the USA is very deceiving. While in Poland you pay what you see, in the USA it is the opposite. The majority of states impose various taxes and fees at the time of purchase. This RS6 in Illinois, where I am located, will not cost 109k, but more like $125-130k after you add ~10% state and local taxes, gas guzzler tax, and other bs fees. Still, not $154k, but for sure, we also need to pay a pretty penny for it when you add it all at the end.

[@iCoolaxe]

Meanwhile, the base price here in Finland is $237k.

[@bahriboy]

Those exhaust limiters are SO annoying...that's why If i was to get one i would get the C7

Cool video Eddie. I hope you don’t take this the wrong way- I was super excited for this rs6 to show up in the US again after all these years. Don’t get me wrong, the looks and the tech is KILLER! Superb. However, it’s not fast enough for this class of cars. And the exhaust note is also extremely weak in this segment. The cold start was just 🤦🏻‍♂️ Moreover, the 4 wheel steering is nothing new- my bimmer’s dynamic steering package has that already and it indeed does make a large car turn real small and nimble (it’s a 2018). Overall, I thought this would be the perfect car and the only car you’d ever need . I am definitely a little disappointed. Thanks for the review !
